summer summer summer!!!

Lazy lazy days. That's pretty much what the next 2 and a half weeks have in store. Well, unless I get terribly bored which seems highly likely at this point. I'm just not the nogood lazeabout I used to be. School's made me soft. Made me feel like I should be doing things, being productive, or just get out more often. It's a terribly infectious feeling.

Anywho. I began summer with a bang of sorts. I stayed up till 3a.m. Saturday morning having fun with Tech friends, and then woke up at 7:30 to drive up to Chattavegas for Covenant's graduation. Sidenote: not a good idea. Do not mix a lack of sleep with a long drive. Yet it was well worth it. I got this strange feeling of nostalgia and deja-vu all mixed together. Graduation was like freshman year at Covenant all over again. It's amazing how short 4 years can seem at such a time. After the ceremony, I attempted to walk around and hunt down each and every friend with some amount of success. I'm a good people hunter in crowds. Just one of those nice things about being tall. Many people also try to solicit you as their personal people hunter. When the hunting season was over, I went up the mountain to hung out with Erin and Patty. And after a 2 and a half hour nap at Patty's house, I headed back to Atlanta for a Tech graduation party. Early church and college class the next day were the final straws to have me completely tuckered out.

That was all the fun I could handle. Or so my two 3 following days of ridiculous amounts of sleep and little else would have you believe. This week has affectionately become known as lazy week. While usually I reserve this adjective for the whole summer, I just don't see it happening that way. It's only been three days of laziness, and I'm already chomping at the bit.

Last night I got to spend some time with Melinda which is alway a nice, though becoming increasingly rare between my lack of communication and her extreme busyness, treat. Any time we hang out it generally leads to long talks that are both insightful and convicting. Last night was no exception. So afterwards I found myself laying in bed staring at the ceiling for hours just thinking. It had been a while since I'd done that. Not that I'm a stranger to thought, but I've become much better over the years at quieting my thoughts in favor of dreams. Lots of things that I'd like to try and work on over the summer while I have plenty of free time.

I finally have some news from the ever secretive people at Duke Energy. They gave me a list of 7 other people who will be interns with me. Like any good curious college student I proceeded to facebook them all. I was successful at finding 4 of them, 2 are not on facebook, and the last, my soon-to-be roommate Jeff Smith, has far too common a name for me to find him without some other clue. Nevertheless it's nice to know there will be other college students. Will they be fun or interesting? Only time will tell.

That's all for now. Stay tuned for more news. It promises to be less about what I'm doing and more about what I'm thinking from here out for a few weeks.
